Mistake

[Johnnyboy]

Whoops,

Realise from the flurry of responses that I maybe have just made the second major mistake of the brew day.

Oh well I will put it down to inexperience and get some more ordered.

I am just sarting the boil on my Tenth All Grain brew (Jennings Cocker Hoop) and just realised I have made a bit of a mistake.

While talking to the better half I have tipped all the hops into the wort at the start of the boil without thinking.

Start of boil -Challenger 42grams
Last ten minutes - Styrian Golding 14grams
Post Boil Hops - Styrian Golding 8grams

Question is what will it turn out like as I have no hops to hand to change anything??????

Any help would be appreciated.

Thats nothing! I recently did the same cock up by boiling 120 grams of Chinook, Centennial and Ahtanum for 80 mins when they should only have gone in the for the last 10 minutes of a 90 minute boil! I'd weighed everything out at the start but only realised the mistake when there was nothing to chuck in at the end... It was bitter enough to seriously harm taste buds - approx 130 ibus instead of the 56 I wanted!

Thats what happens when you decide to stay up to brew after coming off a night shift!

I've dumped it into a keg to condition, then i'll bottle it and hopefully in many months time it will have mellowed out a bit.

That'll never mellow out mate unless you start eating lemons for breakfast. I'd follow Johnboys advice and bin it.

PM me. I can collect.

I finished the boil as normal and then tasted a sample of it, and it was awful. Extremely nasty bitter taste so it went down the drain which hurt!!!!

I cannot believe you did that. That is insane man.

It'll be fine, not sure about the lemons though

Anyway it's nothing compared to this - 323 IBUs!

That sounds vile, might be good to cook with, boil some old boots in or something.

You could do another mash and delete the hops from the boil and after fermentation mix the to brews halving your IBU.
My big cock-up was not rinsing out barrel completely and giving 5 gallon brew a bleach taste
